It's great that LLMs provide opportunity for non-software engineers to make tech products, but I wonder how those "vibe-coded" products will fare when faced with actually maintaining the code (and also accounting for tech debt..)

Simplified syntax helps with maintainability for large projects? You're talking about a "modern" language which had no generics for the better part of its life? The language filled to the brim with "if err != nil"? Go is horrible to work with.

TypeScript & Rust don't "look nice to work with" because they force you to write maintainable code that doesn't just stop working because of a random runtime error. In my opinion, Go looks nice to work with but actually is a hidden monster full of footguns.

I guess by "blue collar devs" (as you said, mundane CRUD etc.) they mean devs that will quickly get replaced by AI.

I wonder if there is something like this but open-source, so I could customize this. I'm looking for a tool to solve UWB positioning (for indoor navigation) - to be able to know where to optimally place various UWB anchor points.

That's on the companies for structuring their interviews like that. Actual technological competence is not measured, only skill in algorithms and data structures, 75% irrelevant for the job..

Impressive! I'm wondering if something like this is possible with other models, because of Gemini's extremely large context length certainly helping a lot with parsing such large documents.

I'll add another analogy of my own: "guy harvests his own ice, is mad at others for buying it from the store"

He is mad at others using AI on his favorite blogging website. I think it is an insult to himself, because most AI produced articles etc. are unreadable and full of useless filler information - I think the guy can do better.

Love this idea! I presume you're using cellular? Won't it rack up a lot of costs?
